set multiauth session-timeout

Use this command to set the maximum number of seconds an authenticated session may last before termination of the session.

Syntax

set multiauth session-timeout [quarantine-agent | cep | dot1x | mac | pwa | radius-snooping | auto-tracking] timeout

Parameters

quarantine-agent (Optional) Specifies the authentication type quarantine-agent (S-, K-Series).
cep (Optional) Specifies the authentication type Convergence End Point (CEP) authentication.
dot1x (Optional) Specifies the authentication type IEEE 802.1X Port-Based Network Access Control.
mac (Optional) Specifies the authentication type Mac authentication.
pwa (Optional) Specifies the authentication type Port Web Authentication (PWA).
radius-snooping (Optional) Specifies the authentication type radius-snooping authentication.
auto-tracking (Optional) Specifies the authentication type auto-tracking (S-, K-Series).
timeout Specifies the timeout value in seconds. The value can range from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 means that no session timeout will be applied unless a session timeout value is provided by the authenticating server. The default value is 0.

Defaults

If no authentication type is specified, the timeout value is set for all types.

The session timeout defaults to 0 (no session timeout is applied).

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

A value of zero may be superseded by a session timeout value provided by the authenticating server. For example, if a session is authenticated by a RADIUS server, that server may encode a Session-Timeout Attribute in its authentication response.

Examples

This example shows how to set the session-timeout value for an active session, for cep and mac authentication to 500 seconds:

System(rw)->set multiauth session-timeout cep 500
System(rw)->set multiauth session-timeout mac 500

This example shows how to set the session-timeout value for an active session, for all the authentication types to 600 seconds:

System(rw)->set multiauth session-timeout 600
